Research Administration
I work closely with the Director and Assistant Director of Research to provide the most appropriate project management services depending on the nature and needs of a grant. Prior to moving to the Genetics Department, I worked for 3 years as a Project Director on public health and substance use prevention grants at UNC’s Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center. I draw upon my training, interests and prior work experience in genomics, bioethics, public policy, reproductive justice and disability advocacy to support the department’s research and grant portfolio.
Examples of Grant Project Management services I can provide:
- Monitor progress of grant objectives and deliverables
- Technical and scientific writing (IRB applications, publications, data/resource sharing)
- Coordinate communication and meetings among research groups
- Assist with development and submission of RPPR’s and grant renewals
- Support monitoring of grant financials
Training:
- Qualitative Research 101 (UNC TraCS)
- Semi-Structured Interviewing
